Jean-Joseph Taillasson (6 July 1745 — 11 November 1809〔''Cyclopedia''.〕) was a French history painter and portraitist, draftsman and art critic. Taillasson was born at Blaye, near Bordeaux.〔John Denison Champlin, Charles Callahan Perkins, ''Cyclopedia of Painters and Paintings'' (1887) ''s.v.'' "Taillasson, Jean Joseph".〕 His poem "Le Danger des règles dans les Arts" was noted with approval by the Danish visitor to Paris, Tønnes Christian Bruun-Neergaard, and an elegy "Sur la Nuit", he thought, seemed fit to soften the least sensitive heart.〔(Bruun-Neergaard, 'Sur la situation des beaux arts en France: ou lettres d'un Danois a son ami'' (pp. 140-41, under the date 12 germinal an 9 (April 1802 )).〕 who matured his talent in the Paris ateliers of Joseph-Marie Vien (from 1764)〔"Taillasson , très-bon compositeur" remarked Bruun-Neergaard.〕 and Nicolas Bernard Lépicié and, having won third place in the Prix de Rome competition, 1769, spent four years, 1773–77, in Italy. At his return to Paris he set an early example of neoclassicism. His ''Observations sur quelques grands peintres'',〔Full title, ''Observations sur quelques grands peintres, dans lesquelles on cherche à fixer les caractères distinctifs de leur talent, avec un précis de leur Vie''〕 (Paris, Duminil-Lesueur) 1807, offered anti-academic advice somewhat at variance with his own manner; some of the collected observations had previously appeared in the ''Journal des Arts''.〔Remarked on by Bruun-Neergaard; see also Debra Schrishuhn, "The Observations Of Jean-Joseph Taillasson: Anti-Academic Admonitions From A Seasoned Academician" ''Proceedings Of The Consortium On Revolutionary Europe''(1997:651-58).〕 He died in Paris. ==Selected works== * ''Self Portrait'', Musée du Louvre * ''Jeune Homme, vêtu d'une robe, levant les bras'', Musée du Louvre * ''La Nymphe surprise'', Musée des Augustins, Toulouse * ''Timoléon à qui les Syracusiens amènent des étrangers'', Musée Ingres, Montauban; another version is at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Tours. * ''Un Vieillard, assis, lisant'', Musée du Louvre * ''Vieillard drapé, debout, vu de dos'', Musée du Louvre. * ''Claude-Louis, comte de Saint-Germain (1707-1778)'', 1777 Musée national de Versailles * ''La Naissance de Louis XIII'', 1782 Musée des Beaux-Arts, Pau * ''La Madeleine au désert'', 1784 Montreal Museum of Fine Arts * ''Ulysse et Néoptolème enlevant à Philoctète les flèches d'Hercule'', 1784 Musée des Beaux-Arts, Bordeaux; this was his ''morceau de reception'' at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture. * ''Sabinus et Eponina découverts par les soldats de Vespasien'' 1787〔''Cyclopedia''〕 * ''Virgil reading the 'Aeneid' to Augustus and Octavia'', 1787 (National Gallery, London) * ''Léandre et Héro'', 1789 Musée des Beaux-Arts, Bordeaux * ''"Seigneur!
